i have it really bad. i fly off the handle a lot for no reason and get distracted during conversations. like i'll listen for 10 seconds but then i'll start to ignore the person, or if it's my girlfriend, ill listen but get a stomach ache for some reason. it makes me depressed more than anything cuz i can't plan my future. (ill be on adderall in 3 weeks). anyone like this??

Yeah, but i think saying that it's "ADHD" is a little over the top because I think everyone does this once in a while.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I don't think you can blame your ADHD for everything. Too many people are diagnosed with ADHD/ADD these days. Hyperactivity and lack of concentration =/= ADD/ADHD.

maybe you should consider that school being too boring is the cause? find something to do in school, like write a book

Yes- but with ADHD, it happens ridiculously often and it's really problematic. Believe me, if I miss my Concerta in the morning and I'm at home, my family can't stand me.

just fyi, the bad psychological effects when missing doses of these drugs is often withdrawal, psych drugs are NOTORIOUS for this. i just dont like when people blame the underlying disorder
